墨西哥城；10月16日 - 飓风特鲁迪在周五迅速增强，携带的最大风速接近每小时120英里（195公里/小时），预计将在周末以大型风暴的形式逼近墨西哥太平洋海岸。
MEXICO CITY; Oct 16 - Hurricane Trudy rapidly intensified on Friday, carrying maximum winds near 120 mph (195 kph), and is expected to approach Mexico's Pacific coast as a major storm during the weekend.
墨西哥当局和总部位于美国的国家飓风中心警告称，特鲁迪在周六晚些时候接近哈利斯科州和科利马州海岸之前，仍有进一步增强的预测，届时将以威胁生命的大型飓风形式出现。
Additional strengthening is still forecast before Trudy nears the coast of Jalisco and Colima states late on Saturday as a life-threatening major hurricane, Mexican authorities and the US-based National Hurricane Center warned.
墨西哥气象局局长法比安·瓦斯克斯在新闻发布会上表示，特鲁迪预计不会登陆，但将保持非常靠近海岸，距离约60至65公里；若其路径发生任何使其更靠近海岸的变化，将增加其影响的严重性。
It is not expected to make landfall but will remain very close to the coast, about 60 to 65 km away, and any change in its path closer to shore will increase the severity of its impact, the head of Mexico's weather agency Fabian Vazquez said at a press conference.
他补充道：“该地区的每个人都需要在周末格外小心并保持警惕。”
"Everyone in this region needs to be very careful and stay alert over the weekend," he added.
墨西哥民防局呼吁居民通过固定门窗、移除可能被强风吹飞的物品，开始为风暴的到来做准备。
Mexico's civil protection agency asked residents to start preparations for the storm's arrival by securing doors and windows, and removing objects that could be thrown around by the strong winds.
私营天气预报机构AccuWeather的飓风气象学家亚历克斯·达席尔瓦表示：“特鲁迪甚至有可能达到四级或五级强度。”
"Trudy has the potential to even reach Category 4 or 5 intensity," said Alex DaSilva, a hurricane meteorologist at private forecaster AccuWeather.
根据国家飓风中心的报告，该风暴位于度假城市阿卡普尔科西南约235英里（380公里）处，预计将在米却肯州、科利马州和哈利斯科州带来最高达15英寸（38厘米）的降雨，增加生命威胁性洪水和山体滑坡的风险。
Located about 235 miles (380 km) southwest of resort city Acapulco, the storm is expected to produce up to 15 inches (38 cm) of rain in the states of Michoacan, Colima and Jalisco, increasing the risk of life-threatening flooding and landslides, according to the NHC.
太平洋海岸受灾严重地区 飓风将袭击墨西哥太平洋海岸，该地区在过去几周已被多场风暴袭击，导致数人死亡和严重洪水。
HARD-HIT PACIFIC COAST The hurricane will strike Mexico's Pacific coast, a region that has already been battered in recent weeks by storms that left several dead and caused severe flooding.
瓦斯克斯表示：“最危险的情况将从周六开始，沿海地区将出现非常剧烈的风和浪，而该地区已经连续几周受到影响。”
"The most critical conditions will start on Saturday, with very severe winds and waves along the coast, in an area that has already been affected for several weeks," Vazquez said.
热带风暴西蒙在之前作为飓风沿海岸带来暴雨后，继续在离岸更西北方向减弱。
Tropical Storm Simon continues to weaken farther northwest offshore, after dropping heavy rain along the coast earlier as a hurricane.
上周，热带风暴瑞秋袭击了下加利福尼亚半岛，墨西哥总统克劳迪娅·谢因鲍姆称该风暴损毁了1,500套住房。
Last week, tropical storm Rachel hit the Baja California peninsula damaging 1,500 homes, according to Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum.
